Once upon a time long ago in NYC, at Reuben's and Tannen's there was a gentlemen who'd bring his set of cups. There were a few folks who brought their cups - Willie the Brooklyn Wizard among them. Let's discuss Willie and his routine another time. This is about another guy. He was well dressed, usually wore a hat. And he'd be practicing a routine that involved stacking and unstacking the cups. He was using metal cups. His routine involved stacking them into a stack of three on the table. When he was in the group, even at the back of the room you could hear the metal "clomp, clomp, clomp".

Does anyone here recall the guy? Well dressed black guy. What cups was he using? And any recollections about the routine he was working on?

Did anyone happen to record Willy the Brooklyn Wizard's routine? He demonstrated what happens when you know a that well trick by doing...start at the start to find the place. Did he or his routine get published mention?
